Crochet Granny Square Baby Blanket/ Afghan

Originally from Columbus, Ohio so my husband calls me nutty but I say that's just the Buckeye in me. I spent 7 years in the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, NC. I lived at the United States Military Academy is in West Point, NY. I lived in Georgia for a while, hence the "I burp Red and Black" burp clothes and bibs. (I'm back only momentarily) And I am happy to say, I am more then just a Ray Lewis fan now, but a Ravens fan. And now that I am in Broncos Country, the orange and blue things have come. So needless to say most of the products I have in my shop are about those places and things that I have lived and loved. I've always known that I was good with my hands. I was blessed with two wonderful grandmothers that did a lot with theirs. They never really taught me how to knit, crochet, or sew, but childhood memories got the best of me when I saw a friend of mine crocheting and it started from there. (So don't think your kids/grandkids won't do what you do. They may not do it now, but they see you, and may do it later.) It all started with one hat that I wore. Everywhere I went people asked me where I got it and I said, "I made it." Then of course they would ask for me to make them one. After a while people started asking other people who made it. And the answer was Derrian did. So that's the reason I named my shop DerrianDidIt (Derrian Did It) "Derrian made it" seemed a little weird to me and when I was younger for some reason I was the blame for many things. I think it was because my sister thought I was going to get in trouble, for instance. The lawn mower was moved, my father came home and said, "Who touched the lawnmower?" My sister, "Derrian Did It" He smiled as he looked outside at the freshly cut grass. Then again my father comes in, "Who painted the living room?" My sister, "Derrian Did It" he smiles as he says, "Thank you, I was hoping that the walls would just paint themselves but I'm glad to see you did it." He was a single father trying to raise two girls so needless to say, you get tired some times. But that is the back story to my shop and the name of it. I pray that the thing you purchase from my shop will create memories as wonderful to you and the special people in your life as the things I make and the name does to me. Have a great day, everyday, on purpose. God, Family, Work, in that order, Derrian P.S. I DO NOT, and WILL NOT make anything for the state up north or Navy, so please do not ask. Your order WILL BE REFUNDED!!!
